Fun fact! The three-fifths compromise continues today in a different form. While incarcerated people are not allowed to vote, they do count for the population of the area they’re imprisoned in for representation. These areas tend to be rural and conservative, and opposed to the wants of the people imprisoned.
Prison Gerrymandering is a neat trick used to both disenfranchise imprisoned citizens and artificially inflate the voter base of conservative politicians.
